Compulsive Noties

I actually got enough time I write and finish the first friggen chapter! Sorry if you've all given up on me. So, yeah, I'm not 100% sure where this story is going, but once it does get going, it'll get going. But OMG I switched to 1st person somewhere in the middle and had to go back re-write the whole second half. It was wayy annoying. I plan to put some lemons in here too ;D Bwahaha oh yes. After, of course, everything's fixed. -you'll get that statement once the chapter's been read.

By the way, anyone read some of my old works? Good. Don't. It's terrible. I think I should shoot my old self for thinking I was such a good writer. Because I wasn't. Anyone who DID read my old works and LIKE IT should be given a tolerance award. For reading terrible literature and liking it.

"Naruto."

"Hmm?" Naruto asked, voice muffled by his emptying glass of alcohol.

"It's three am. On a Tuesday night. And you're at a bar. Don't you have work or something in the morning?" Sakura said, disappointment in her voice. "I'd like to know you explanation for this."

"I always come here when me and Sasuke fight. It's the only place that's open twenty-four seven." Naruto swirled around what was left of the liquid before setting down the cup. "I think you need an explanation as well."

"I was picking up Ino, she's in the car. I though you gave up drinking!" Sakura said, taking the seat next to him.

"Well, I did...but I starting again when Sasuke and I began fighting." A puzzled look crossed her face.

"Why on earth would you two fight? Last time I saw you, you were...there was a feeling anyone else could pick up just by standing next to you two."

"We've only been fighting for a few months. I've be come really insecure ever since my dad rejected me last year. It's been rough trying to move on. I had a really close knit family 'til I moved out."

"Awe, honey..." She said, reaching out her hand to rub his shoulder. "Being gay is nothing to be ashamed of. Be proud of who you are!"

"That's what Sasuke tells me...then I say to him 'You have nothing to worry about, your moms always gone, and your brother's gay too!' Then he gets pissed off, and we yell at each other for an hour and a half before I slip off here to drowned my worries in drinks."

"In the mornings, do you make up?"

"Every Wednesday morning."

"So this is a weekly process."

"Every week it's something new. But it's okay...I don't mind fighting, because when we make up, I feel like we're closer then before. One day we'll stop fighting...then after all the pent up rage and insecurities, we'll just be able to be happy knowing how much each other cares."

"Oh shit." She stared at her phone and began to seethe. "Ino's still out in the car."

"If Ino's anything like she used to be, you've got nothing to worry about. She's a heavy duty drinker, she's probably out cold."

"Probably. But I this is a sketchy neighborhood. I don't want to leave her out there, alone, unconscious."

"No...you'd better get her home." Sakura pulled out a pen and took his hand to scribble something on it. She kissed his hand and folded it shut.

"Call me anytime you need someone to talk to. My phone's always on." She smiled her Sakura smile and twisted off her stool and floated away. Looking back she waved goodbye before exiting the bar. He looked at his hand and sighed, it had been some time since he'd seen Sakura and she was looking well. He looked at the bar tender a young lady, barely legal. She smiled as she finished up drying an empty glass.

"Well, I know I wasn't really in your conversation, but...you should go to him. I'm sure he's worried, or feels sorry for what he said...or did..."

"Your a sweet girl." He said, hoping she understood his oddly worded thank you. He stood up and watched a group of bulky men leave the same way Sakura had. They were loud and very pushy. He'd seen them there...a few times before, he guessed it was a normal hang out spot of them. When the coast was clear, he began out that way, too. As he walked to his car, he noticed their group still lingering around. He hurried to his car, the men reminding me much of the jocks he used to hang around. People could be so cruel.

But to his dismay, he was spotted, and stopped.

"Hey there...Mr. Fairy! I heard you chatting it up with that-that pink haired chick..." His words were loud, and slurred. All of them seemed about as drunk as the main speaker, and easily surrounded Naruto. "So your gay, huh?"

"Well, yes. I don't see why that gives you the right to block me from my car." He leaned in swaying a bit, breathing heavy. Naruto could see the sweat on his face, and smell the alcohol on his breath.

"I don't like gay people." He spat, before he felt a force push him to the ground. It was a hard punch to the face, but it couldn't have came from the guy who was talking. Probably from the guy next to him. Naruto tasted blood in his mouth and realized what was going on. He felt a kick to his stomach, and coughed, a second kick to his back and tears welled up in his eyes. A third kick to his leg that didn't hurt as bad as the others. A fourth to his face, and he felt something snap, and a tooth wiggle loose. A serge of pain traveled through his entire body, pushing him to release anything left in his stomach onto the ground next to him. The taste of blood got stronger, he began to weep as the pain increased. A stomp came down and he felt his leg snap, and a fifth kick ensured a broken rib. He looked up at them and they smiled.

"You gays are despicable." The man said, actually spitting onto Naruto's face. A final kick came to my arm and he felt that bone snap, too. Crying now as he lay on the ground, he realized he was bleeding in his mouth, and slowly began to grow hazy. Before he slowly slipped from consciousness, he heard a quiet scream, probably louder then he comprehend, and saw a slender figure enter his gaze before reality dissipated and blackness took over.

Naruto opened his heavy eye lids, and moaned softly from small aches still inhabiting his body. He tried to sit up but slowly saw his surroundings and realized it be best if he stayed where he sat. Besides him was a few balloons, saying variations of 'Get well soon!', and on the foot of his bed lay a sleepy bluenette, whose head was faced away.

"Sasuke..." He said, his voice hoarse, and throat some what hurting. He looked down and saw only one unwrapped limb on my upper body and lower body. Using the lazy, unhurt arm he opened his hospital gown to see his torso wrapped up like a cold baby.

"Holy hell, your awake!" Sasuke nearly shouted, stretching before leaping out of his chair. Quickly he rushed to my face, kissing from ear to ear, missing no place on my cheeks, and mouth. He stopped abruptly as Naruto was in the midst of struggling to keep up. "Don't you ever...ever, fucking do that to me again. We're never fighting again, and if you return to that bar for one second, I will kill you myself." Naruto smiled.

"I'm sorry I worried you, Sasuke-kun." He smiled, realizing there was also bandage on his face. He lifted his hand and touched the bandage. Naruto groaned.

"What's wrong, Naruto? Something hurts? I can have them pump you with meds!"

"No...no...my money maker...it's broken!" Sasuke smiled. Shaking his head, and sitting down. He grabbed my hand and sighed, sitting back down. "So how long have I been out?"

"Just around a day or so." A doctor said, coming in. "You've bruised a few bones, and broken one of your ribs. That was quite an altercation!"

"But...I thought they all were broken, I mean...I felt snapping."

"The brain is a stronger muscle then we give it credit for. You see, you probably felt snapping, but it was only shock from being hurt the way you were. This will take only but four to six weeks to fix. But your broken rib will take a few months. We'll have you ready to go home in a few days." The doctor said, smiling before exiting the room.

"What happened? All I heard was that you'd been found in a bar parking lot, beaten to a bloody pulp." Naruto sighed. Sasuke yanked his hand and he looked at him. "Why did they beat you up?"

"I saw Sakura at the bar, and she gave me her number..."

"Yeah, I know, she was the first one they called, in fact, she's on her way back from picking up a few things from her house. She called me right after when she found your phone in your pocket." Naruto licked his chapped lips, and hoped he wouldn't bring it up again.

"Naruto...what happened...really?" Naruto began to make circles with one of his fingers, having escaped being bandaged up.

"When did you know you were gay..." Sasuke let go of his hand, and took off his leather jacket, scooting his chair closer to Naruto's. He kicked out his legs and flipped back his hair. God he was still enthralling. Naruto assumed Sasuke was still in thought when he re-placed his hand in Naruto's and looked over at him.

"I'm gonna say when I was eight, and my brother decided to randomly place me in wrestling. He said if there was any 'man' left in me, this would probably blow it out of the water. After I would wrestle, I would feel...welNaruto, tremendously, and his cough nearly scared the shit out of Sasuke, it was still a happy moment. Once the pain in his abdomen ceased, he looked back over at him and smiled. "No, but I was always a little off."

"It's okay, I love you for it." Sasuke leaned in and kissed Naruto, although it could almost be classified as a peck, it had just the right amount of passion.

"But that doesn't answer my question." Naruto took a deep breath, trying hard to avoid the thought.

"I was walking out of the bar...and I was stopped by a group a men, who over hear my conversation with Sakura about me and you fighting, and were offended by me being gay..."

"What." Now, any grammar teacher would tell you this was incorrect. There should have been a question mark after this word, but there wasn't. This was not a question, but a statement. In all actuality he wasn't saying 'What', he was saying 'Like hell if they'll do it again when I'm done with them.'

"I'm fine! Look, I'm all fixed up now, no need to go-" Naruto watched as the smile he'd once held high on his face dwindle down to nothing more then a scowl.

"Shut the hell up, Naruto." Sasuke said, now in a bad mood. As if it wasn't bad enough, Sakura came into the room, all happy and cheery with a cake.

"Oh, Naruto-"

"Put the cake down, and hurry your happy ass up, we've got something to do." He said, letting go of Naruto's hand. The bllond sighed, and let his head hang low.

"Listen, Sasuke, let's not do anything irrational! I'd much rather you-" Sasuke turned to face him, with a look that said it all.

"You know what Naruto, all my life I was teased and taunted for my sexuality, and now I'm adult. So I'm going to handle this in an adult manner. I'd rather be thrown in jail for beating someone up, then let you take the beating. It's about time I put my foot down, and your not going to be the one to suffer." Naruto wasn't even sure Sasuke knew what he was saying, but Sakura followed orders, to make Sasuke less irritable if anything. Both disappeared out the door.

Naruto sat there in the bed. Just sat there...feeling useless. His phone rattled on the small table next to me. He reached over with his good arm and flipped it open. It was a text message from Sakura.

He's mad because he thinks it's his fault...you guys fighting was the reason you were at the bar last night...

And for the first time, Naruto couldn't do anything.
